Introduction and Aim: Diabetes, a global health concern, is often compounded by nutritional perturbations. Micronutrients seem to play regulatory role in the pathogenesis progression of type 2 diabetes recent evidence implicates pivotal zinc diabetes. The study aims evaluate serum levels diabetic patients assess correlation with lipid profile ASCVD Methodology: present was carried out Departmen...

Aim: This study was aimed to investigate visceral adiposity indicators and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Material Methods: A total 353 adults aged between 18 74 years were included this study. Bodyweight, height, waist, hip circumference measured; fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipopr...

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is a national as well as worldwide problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of overweight and obesity among Qatari children with lipid profile and waist circumference as adverse cardiovascular risk factors in children aged 6-11 years. International Obesity Task Force reference values were used to screen for overweight and obesity. METHODS A c...

Seabuckthorn (SBT) seed oil is a rich source of unsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, carotenoids and flavonoids, which are known to have significant anti-atherogenic and cardioprotective activity. The anti-atherogenic activity of supercritical CO(2) extracted SBT seed oil was evaluated in white albino rabbits fed on high cholesterol diet for 60 days. The study was performed on 20 male healthy...

Classic Epidemiology: High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Is a Biomarker of Atherogenic Lipoproteins and Other Major Cardiovascular Risk Factors High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a robust biomarker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. In observational studies and many clinical trials of statin therapy, HDL cholesterol levels are inversely associated with CVD even...

BACKGROUND Many people, although they may recognise the positive effects of exercise, do not exercise regularly owing to lack of time. This study aimed to investigate the effects of prolonged single-session exercise and multiple short sessions of exercise on the risk of metabolic syndrome and the atherogenic index in middle-aged obese women. METHODS Thirty-six participants were divided into t...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are inflammatory rheumatic diseases that may modify body composition. Adipose tissue has the ability to release a wide range of products involved in physiologic functions, but also in various pathological processes, including the inflammatory/immune response. RA and AS are both associated with the development of cardiovascular complicati...
